I think he is definitely too small to be "the guy" on O for a team, but I could easily see him in a supporting role at the end of the game. But I struggle to see how he wouldn't be a huge weakness defensively.
That's the beauty of being a 6th man, no? You aren't starting and you'll likely face the other team's second unit where his defense could be less important/hidden. You could then insert him into the crunch, situationally if needed. It's going to take a leap of faith from Carlisle which I'm not sure he has in him. You'd need to give him the freedom with the second unit that he gives to Luka, but Terry is going to be more self oriented.
